I spotted a Rachel in my "travels" through the material and I'll get back
with you when I spot it again. Also, for anyone else interested in this line,
I'll second what Frances said about the various spellings of either Hoose or
Van Hoesen, they are numerous, and I hope more will add their thoughts about
this. Again, I'm trying to connect those two surnames, Hoose/Huss/Haos/etc.
seems to have evolved from Van Hoesen and all of its variations. Ed

I was interested in your Van Hoesen (and variations) line. I descend from
a
Charles Wheeler, born about 1792 in KY, and his second wife was Rachel Van
Hoosen/Van Housen/Hoover/etc. Her father was Jacob, and I do not know
where
he came from. It is pretty amazing the variations that I have seen on
Rachel's maiden name. They were married in KY, and she moved after 1850 to
Cass
County, MO. Her husband had died before she moved, and she went with her
children to MO. Charles had four children by his first wife, and at least
one of
them, Edward M. Wheeler, had moved to Cass County, MO, in the 1840's.
I have wondered when researching in NY and have seen all the Van Hoesens,
including a Jacob, if this is the same line as Rachel's.

The Burdicks and my Babcocks have many connections. Aso my gggGrandfather Charles Babcock lived in Hillsdale about 1778-1800. I have never found any records that verify this.
I have this posted on my webpage.
THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE
The salient features of the American character, and of the American experience, are clearly evident in the history of the families which constitute the focus of the present study: the Babcocks,the Burdicks, the Thayers, and the Masons. Their Christian ideals, their political acumen, their sense of community, their belief in justice, their propensity for hard work, and their never ending quest for a better life are American in the strictest sense of the word. All four families were among the first inhabitants of New England, during colonial days; and the intimate details of their lives promise a more accurate and understandable account of the birth and development of the nation than is supplied by undocumented books on the social and political history of the country. It is not presumptuous to say that these people, together with their compatriots, were among the designers of the American way of life.

I did find Plimleys in Ulster Co..1st Lieut William in Civil War & John in Woodstock same time frame Sylvester's History of Ulster Co.

Peggy,
I just took a look at Family Tree Maker's CD ROM #132, "Selected New York
Revolutionary War Records, 1775-1840. It lists two men with the surname
of Plimley in its index. Henry, who served in the NY First Regiment of the
Line, and William, who served in the NY Fourth Regiment of the Line. I then
went to Heritage Quest on Line, which I have access to through the Godfrey
Memorial Library. I discovered that Henry was awarded 100 acres of bounty
land in 1792. On March 4, 1831, William received a pension. The pension
papers listed William as being from Claverack. (It should be noted that
William spelled his names three different ways, two of which began with the
letter "B" not "P".) William did not know how to read or write, because he
signed his pension application with an "x".
The name Plimly does not appear in the index of CD ROM #132.
A search of Rev War records on Heritage Quest yielded one man with the
surname of Plimly.
Hendrick Plimly, a/k/a Hendryk Plimly, who was 67 years of age in 1818 and
resided in Ulster County, NY.
Since I so not have a copy of the 1779 Claverack District Tax List for
Albany County, NY, I am afraid that I have exhausted my resources.
Let me know if either Hendrick or William are yours and I'll dig deeper into
their Rev War documents for you.
